Complete product range
Besides the new VDL Futura FHD2-106, VDL Bus & Coach will also be showing the VDL Futura FDD2-141, a 14.1-metre-long double-decker. This double-decker offers both the discerning holidaymaker and the intercity business traveller a comfortable and fitting transport solution. The use of a newly developed upper-deck floor made of lightweight sandwich material has made it possible to achieve a generous 1.86 m of standing height on the lower deck. A true innovation is the improvement of the driver’s upward viewing angle, achieved by sloping the floor of the upper deck upwards at the windscreen. This gives a feeling of having plenty of space and an optimal view. The FDD2-141 on show is fitted with 83+1+1 seating and has space for 1 wheelchair.
will present the Futura FMD2-135 in the outdoor area. This multifunctional coach, which can also be deployed for intercity transport and on scheduled services, is fitted with 59+1+1 seating.
Also in the outdoor area will be a MidCity and a MidEuro. The MidCity is designed as a line bus with 19+1+1 seating, a maximum of 8 standing places and 1 wheelchair space. The MidEuro has 16+1+1 seating and is fitted with every luxury and comfort to make travelling as pleasant as possible.
